It certainly looks like Mayor Lamb has finally done it to himself.

After all the shenanigans at city hall that he has escaped blame for he now faces criticism for an illicit affair with a foolish (and apparently very unhappy) 23-year-old woman whom he had sex with in his office.

I don't quite get how that can be termed irrelevant to his job as mayor. It will be interesting to see how he sidesteps this one.

Why is it that when a guy gets into a position of power he thinks that issues involving ethics and morality and integrity are for others? What a message to send his children.

How can he lead our city and remain credible? Mr. Lamb should certainly step down from office.

The city council should remove him from office. And if that fails, a recall would be in order.

Sure nothing like local politics to keep interest in the city up. Don't ya'll agree?

Steve Collins, Bothell
